Event Details

Tuesday, December 24th @ 11AM - This event has been cancelled.

Hey Ballers!

Time to get fancy! WAKA Connecticut is rolling out the red carpet (literally) for New Year's Eve this year!

So let’s be honest, every year it seems New Year’s Eve plans end up in place that’s overcrowded, overpriced, and overhyped! So we decided that it’s time to setup something that is the real deal - something fun, exciting, and just plain awesome to ring in 2014!

Join us at the “Great Hall” at downtown Hartford’s Union Station for the New Year's Eve Masquerade "Kick Ball"!...

The “Great Hall” is fabulous space located directly next to Hot Tomatoes (also the caterer of the event!)

OK, this sounds awesome but exactly how does this work?Well, the Masquerade "Kick Ball" is a semi-formal attire event with an element of mystery and fun. Feel free to bring your own masks and be creative as you'd like. We will also have some masks to give out at the door. If you need a good, simple mask check out the Party stores like Party City.This event is OPEN BAR (beer, wine, and alcohol), passed hors d'oeuvres, a DJ, dancefloor, and a legit ‘red carpet’/step & repeat upon entrance! So dress to impress! We will have a photographer snapping your photos upon entrance on the red carpet!

How much does it cost?

There are 3 ticket price points.

$85 through December 16th (early bird)$95 December 17th - December 23rd (standard)$105 December 24th - December 31st (late)

Also included in the evening is a midnight champagne toast, NYE Party favors, and a late night munchie station.

Need a place to stay downtown?No problem. We have secured a block of hotel rooms at the Holiday Inn Express (which is literally across the street from the venue). You can book a room by calling 860.246.9900 and using the group code “WAKA” to get the group rate. The cost of the room is $159 + taxes & fees which comes out to $182.85 total. There is also an overnight parking fee of $14 so you’ll want to include that into your equation if you want to get a room. There are only a limited number of rooms in the block so you’ll want book as soon as possible to ensure your room. The deadline for the room reservation is December 16th.

This event is open to anyone (not just WAKA players). Feel free to invite whomever you’d like. More the merrier!
